Tolerance is an agreement, not a suicide pact. We AGREE to tolerate each other. If one side refuses to tolerate the other, then there IS NO AGREEMENT to uphold, and we are NOT called to tolerate their intolerance. No paradox at all.

Birthright citizenship is not a magical right conferred only in the US. 33 nations have birthright citizenship on the books and another 40 have restricted versions of birthright citizenship. It is not in any way controversial unless you are a frothing fascist.

Americans need to be told they do not want to live in a version of the US in which they have to be the right kind of American to be treated equally, or without malice.

Trump rages that Henry Cuellar didn’t pay him back for a pardon by switching parties, blasting Cuellar for a “lack of LOYALTY.”
In other words, Trump admits he was trying to use his pardon power to buy Republicans a House seat.

A neat thing about birthright citizenship is how it tests whether a person cares at all about the Constitution. There's no argument against it, birthright citizenship is the unambitious text, the obvious intent of the drafters, and the undisputed way it was followed for the past 150+ years.
I continue to think that Matty coming out against birthright citizenship a few months ago should have been taken as a major warning sign that the group chats have already decided to surrender on this.
